GENERAL SUMMARY

The EMS skills instructor will teach EMT-B and AEMT (depending on certification level) students how to perform EMT skills as outlined by IMA and the NREMT. EMS skills instructors give hands on instruction based on the steps outlined in the skill sheets, supplemented by their experience as field providers. In addition to instruction, EMS Skills Instructors will also function as proctors to test EMT students on the IMA and NREMT skill sheets. The EMS Skills Instructor will use the objective criteria as outlined in the skills sheets to determine the student’s competency in individual EMT skills as well as medical and trauma patient scenarios. Dependent on the instructor’s experience and comfort level, EMS Skills Instructors may also be asked to fill in during lecture class sessions.
